Love Gone Wrong? Go Digital to Get Over an Ex

You thought you found your one true love online, but now you’ve been dumped by text or defriended on Facebook without a peep of explanation. Hours of bad TV in your bathrobe haven’t helped.

Obama: Critical hit, bitch!

Dude at right: OK, you couldn’t even HAVE a light saber? We haven’t even RUN Barrier Peaks in this campaign? Plus, you know, that’s a light saber of backbiting, so, you know, joke’s on you.

First Lady: I’m totally going home with that guy.

Fencer: “Well, that’s okay, Barack, but with the limp wrist and all, you don’t strike me as a form VII practitioner… Maybe Return of the Jedi Palpatine fighting style is more your speed”
Obama: “But I like Windu the best!”

You’d think that the white house could afford those $150 awesome replicas, instead of the $15 cheapo two foot long ones.

Obama: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Other Guy: Stop saying that! And since that’s a light saber, that makes me your father.
